Description:

Nurses are under pressure to improve the quality of patient care and to make their service more responsive to individual needs. Yet little guidance is offered on how to take action. The aim of this book is to provide tried and tested practical strategies for making step-by-step changes and improvements, no matter what the specialty. Drawing on examples and action research, the book aims to describe the pitfalls associated with change in clinical settings and show how they can be overcome. The book identifies ways in which the good and relevant "traditional" values and attitudes can still influence modern practice and it highlights the important topical issues of clinical supervision and clinical leadership. Overall, it offers insight into the nature of patient-centred practice and the context required to support it. This forms the core of many modules in educational programmes, particularly at the post-regestration level.
